Titan Advanced Energy Solutions (TitanAES) specializes in advanced battery cell inspection systems using ultrasound technology. Based in Salem, Massachusetts, the company was established in 2016 by Shawn Murphy and Sean O’Day. Their innovative IonSightTM system provides non-destructive diagnostics of battery cells, enabling real-time analysis of cell morphology and identification of manufacturing anomalies. This technology significantly improves battery safety, performance, and manufacturing efficiency across various industries, including electric vehicles, stationary storage systems, and consumer electronics.
Battery Technology
TitanAES’s proprietary ultrasound technology offers unprecedented insights into battery cell behavior and characteristics. The IonSightTM system integrates seamlessly into existing manufacturing processes, providing immediate detection of defects and quality issues without damaging the cells. This advanced inspection method analyzes battery cells at the molecular level, offering precise measurements of state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH).
The technology has demonstrated remarkable improvements in battery performance metrics:
- 15-25% increase in daily charge capacity
- Up to 30% extension in battery life
- Enhanced safety through early detection of potential issues
- Improved string balancing through cell-level monitoring
TitanAES’s ultrasound-based diagnostics combine with sophisticated algorithms and machine learning to deliver accurate, real-time analysis. This integration enables manufacturers to optimize production processes, reduce waste, and ensure consistent quality across their battery manufacturing operations.
Recent Projects
In recent developments, TitanAES has integrated its ultrasound technology into Honeywell’s Battery Manufacturing Excellence Program. This collaboration aims to enhance battery quality through real-time, in-line analysis for detecting manufacturing defects that traditional methods cannot identify. The partnership represents a significant step forward in advancing battery manufacturing standards and quality control processes.
